In my recent trip abroad to Malaysia and Thailand, I was on the look out for things natural and hand made. Very quickly, I found out just how big of a market share our pharmaceutical and beauty subsidiaries have made overseas. Perhaps I am more of an idealist than most, but I was expecting homegrown, local products to be more available than they were. Or simply, I just wasn’t in the right places.

If you’re like me and wash your hands several times a day, if not hourly (due to constant contact with clients), the affects of harsh soaps and even warm water can take a toll on your hands and nails. Do you use handmade natural soap and follow with a lotion and a massage? I ABSOLUTELY DO!
